Lockheed Martin [LMT] signed a teaming agreement yesterday with Indonesian technology firm PT CMI Teknologi to improve airspace surveillance, safety and management over the Indonesian Archipelago, according to a company statement released yesterday.
During a signing ceremony at the Singapore Air Show, company representatives agreed to jointly pursue the National Airspace Surveillance–Republic of Indonesia (NASRI) program with the intent to produce more than 40 new TPS-77 and FPS-117 long-range surveillance radars in-country.
Data feeds from the network will also enhance civilian air traffic control, including commercial air traffic management, which is currently handled by radars in nearby Singapore.
PT CMI Teknologi of Bandung, Indonesia, is a small, privately-owned technology company specializing in microwave design and manufacturing. The company currently holds contracts for the development and support of Indonesian military radar systems.
